Fun! Web player didn't work for me but OS X version ran fine. Quite a challenge! Fast-paced, I wasn't always sure what killed me, seemed to have trouble hitting enemies with my bag. Sounds are top notch, loved the graphics. Reeeeeally wanted to have a permanent double-jump.

felipeberquo 2015-04-21 19:02

Thanks for the feedback scumbly! We did notice that the double is a must in this game, so it's gonna be permanent and the boots upgrade should be a triple jump instead of double!

Great Game! Quite hard at the beginning but really funny!
Good player responce, Great design, Absolutly great voices :D!

This was pretty fun, and I liked the voices effects Greedy Knight had. I would like to see the stage get increasingly harder as you get further.

I encountered a bug around 600 gold where enemies and projectiles stopped causing damage. I don't know what caused it, but I casually noticed me walking through enemies and projectiles without response. After jumping into a pit, I started taking damage again.

Overall a good entry.

Quite frustrating at the beginning, but becomes fun after a few tries! :D

Quite difficult and challenging, nice graphics and sound effects! Just a tip on german keyboards "Z" and "Y" places are exactly opposite, so it makes it really difficult to play :)

Nice, responsive controls, good take on the runner genre. The enemies explosion was satisfying.

If you planned to expand and make a full game out of it, it could do with some more upgrades or various levels of the upgrades or something so you don't run out of stuff to buy so quickly (or just make some reset with each run)

One bug I noticed: if you sit on the shop screen for too long, the music will stop looping.

Really funny game and nice sounds.
Only a bit dificult at the beginning.
But overall is really good, and love the graphics!

That was a fun auto runner game. The upgrades could have cost more money because I was able to buy them all in one go.

This was really fun!
Loved the sound effects ("oww!"), and the art is beautiful too.
It was sometimes hard to jump off the edge of a platform, even if I wasn't really at the edge. Consider allowing jumps in a larger area (see #4 in this great post - http://devmag.org.za/2011/01/18/11-tips-for-making-a-fun-platformer/).
Perhaps add a pause when the game starts so you have a chance to focus on what's happening before the running starts, maybe display 3..2..1.. so the player can brace themselves.
When dying, there is too much of a delay before you restart, better let the player get back into action faster I think.
I didn't feel that the theme (the weapon being money) was very different than just regular weapons.
But overall great fun :)

Really loved the "nooo!" sound effect, which is good because I died a lot. The background music ended after my first death. Not sure if this was intentional or not, but if it was, this approach does make the game's atmosphere feel a bit flat. Otherwise, the game play is solid. Good work!

felipeberquo 2015-04-23 00:36

Thanks for the feedback guys! We really appreciate!
We gonna write down all your notes and take them in account, that's for sure!

Very, very cool game! A few tweaks and it would be ready for the mobile. Can't say anything bad about it.

lolshouse 2015-04-23 07:21

Oh man, I really liked this. Auto-runner games are lots of fun.

curial 2015-04-23 07:24

Accurate mobile devices design and nice looking GUI. IN PC, btw, the SPACE key is a bit unconfortable to jump next to X and Z. I would prefer C.
Let's have a bit more plays to try more shop items :D

felipeberquo 2015-04-23 13:33

Curial yeah, we thoght that too and we're going to change them. The "C" key should work much better
Thank you and the other guys for playing the game and giving us some feedback! See ya

wwwwooooohhhooooooooooooo.....

deltaf1 2015-04-25 22:38

The sound design and graphics are really good, it looks and sounds like a professional piece. The jumping felt a little floaty, and I didn't really feel like I was in danger that often, but it was still fun to play. Is it intentional that your upgrades remain after death? I do like the mechanic of killing all the enemies when the shop appears, but I think it would be beneficial to provide a small amount of time after the player presses the leave shop button for them to get ready to jump. Overall, well done!

felipeberquo 2015-04-26 12:31

DeltaF1: actually it was intentional at the first moment, but we also realize that it would be better if the player looses all the itens and upgrades when he dies. We're going to fix that! Also, we're going to create more enemies (we already have the art for them), some different ones. And yes, this delay after the player leaves the shop is one of the future updates! The amulet behaviour is still missing in the current version too. Thank you very much for playing and for your feedbacks man! We really appreciate that.

Very good game, really funny.

waveformmodulations 2015-04-29 22:50

It was quite fun, the dificulty curve is a bit intense, the shopkeeper randomly popping up was a little annoying at some parts.

felipeberquo 2015-05-04 16:46

Heheh, actually we are going to make the shopkeeper to appear only when the level starts or at some checkpoints.
Thank you for your words dude!

frederickk 2015-05-10 03:33

This game is so difficult!
That's a burglar with a chest head? That I loved!
Need to be more frenetic, more speed and less difficult. xD'

jasonsumm 2015-05-10 11:34

Really fun! Look and feel is great :)

tppr2046 2015-05-10 13:15

Fun!!

felipeberquo 2015-05-10 13:52

Yeah FrederickK! Actually, we know that the game lacks of some game design and some balancing... It's really difficult lol
We appreciate your words and we're going to take your considerations! Thanks dude!

adriczero 2015-05-10 16:29

Very nice graphics and audio. Difficult to play for me. It does not seem very unconventional though. Overall very polished game.

sorlok 2015-05-11 02:35

Nice game, good mechanics, and quite fun (although not really my type of game). Wish the difficulty ramped up a little more slowly, but otherwise good job!

andreiagmu 2015-05-11 23:09

I like this game! :-D The simple and fun gameplay is really good for this type of game, and I also liked the art and music (and the funny voices for the SFX!).

Cool upgrade system! That gives a great "meaning" for the items that the player collect, I like when an Infinite Runner has purchasable items that directly affect the gameplay.
